Battery Maintenance

Warning

Battery acid is corrosive and poisonous and will cause damage to unprotected skin. Never swallow battery acid or allow it to come into contact with the skin. To prevent injury, always wear eye and skin protection when handling the battery.

Clean the battery using a clean, dry cloth. Make sure that the cable connections are clean.

The battery is a sealed type and does not require any maintenance other than checking the voltage and routine recharging when required, such as during storage (see the following paragraphs).

It is not possible to adjust the battery acid level in the battery; the sealing strip must not be removed.
